// Rather convoluted setup where we infer a relationship between two // free regions in the closure signature (`'a` and `'b`) on the basis // of a relationship between two bound regions (`'x` and `'y`). // // The idea is that, thanks to invoking `demand_y`, `'x: 'y` must // hold, where `'x` and `'y` are bound regions. The closure can't // prove that directly, and because `'x` and `'y` are bound it cannot // ask the caller to prove it either. But it has bounds on `'x` and // `'y` in terms of `'a` and `'b`, and it can propagate a relationship // between `'a` and `'b` to the caller. // // Note: the use of `Cell` here is to introduce invariance.
